[9fans] Dell E4300?

[9fans] Dell E4300?

[Benjamin Huntsman]

Anyone here had a chance to try a Dell E4300?  It's a nice, compact system, but it really refuses to boot Plan 9:

It has on-board SATA hd, SATA cd-rom, etc.  I tried quanstro's 9atom.iso, and with the SATA controller in AHCI mode, it'll start booting, but hangs at:

45555 => 818807+1020832+474972=2314611
entry: f0100020

Plan 9

In modes other than AHCI, neither the "stock" or quanstro's cd's will recognize any devices other than fd0, and even then won't boot from it.

The "stock" cd will hang here in AHCI mode:

PBS1...
Plan 9 from Bell Labs
ELCR: 0C08
pcirouting: South bridge 8086, 2917 not found


Any idea where to start looking?  (besides for a different laptop, that is :) )

Thanks!!

i think there's a good chance things can work.
clearly we're relatively close to booting, because
we've gotten this far.

my semi-educated guess here is that either
we've done something antisocial in 9load that
has corrupted some SMM mode memory.  the
leading potential culprit here is ahci.  or that
some SMM-driven device, like a usb mouse that
is presented to the os as a ps/2 mouse is messing
up.

the easiest debugging step is to turn off usb
completely.

also, make sure to check for bios updates.

do you have a cpu server?  is your laptop
PXE bootable?  even a useable network card
would work.  if so, it will be much easier to
narrow down the problem quickly.

i'll add this southbridge to my cd.  this will definately
not hurt.  could you send me pci output?  if you use
lspci from linux make sure to use -vn so the vid/did
appear.  the descriptive strings are fairly useless.

Sorry, I don't use Linux much.  This machine currently runs OpenSolaris.  Below is the output from 'prtconf -pv' which should be more-or-less similar to Linux's 'lspci -vn'.  If you'd prefer the Linux output, I can go download a LiveCD really quick...

Thanks much for your time!!

okay.  i allowed the kernel to use the e820 scan
that 9load-e820 uses instead of using reamode
itself.  this may not help, but it's a good guess,
anway.  your machine appears to be crashing
during the e820 scan.

The second part of your reply appears to not be directed to this issue, but something similar.  I don't remember writing that.
Anyway, we're getting much further, but the boot process still dies:

This is when attempting to use the "boot Plan 9 from this CD" option.
Booting into the "install Plan 9..." option loads the installer.  I'm installing
now and will post the results.

Okay, the install works perfectly, and I'm up and running!
Many thanks!

I recall reading that the CD is otherwise identical to the "stock"
version.  So, if I recompile the kernel, it'll break, right?  What
utterances do I need to enter in order to rebuild the kernel as it
appears on the 9atom cd?

Thanks again!!

the short answer is that you can't, exactly — yet.

here's the original post, which should answer your questions.

interestingly, googling for this with
	site:9fans.net/archive/2009/08 PAT
returns nothing.

fixed.  you should now be able to boot from the cd regardless
of which port you've plugged it into sdE5 should be fine.

so, while i recommend that the contrib packages be used instead,
after some thought and a few hrs of quality time removing half-finished
bits, i packaged up the source used to build the 9atom kernels.
	ftp://ftp.quanstro.net/other/kernel.mkfs.bz2
to extract to the current directory
	bunzip2 < kernel.mkfs.bz2 | disk/mext -d .
if anyone objects to this being out there, i'll just remove it.

off the top of my head, this kernel has the following little
bits in addition to tje contrib packages:
- jumbo frames, used with aoe (#l0/ether0/mtu),
- /dev/cputemp on modern amd and intel processors,
- kbd led control, repluggable ps/2 mice, cec console server,
- console on non-onboard serial lines, turning serial console on/off,
- pat,
- /dev/nomp (mp irqs off), and /dev/mpirq (irqs turned on),

the kernel you build will *still* be a little different than mine
because of some changes to libauthsrv i made.  these differences
are in the patch "readnvram" that allow nvram to be on any sd
device.  this is particularly useful for ahci laptops that may have
sdE2 (cdrom) and sdE3 (hd).  while they could have been added
to the big array in libauthsrv.c/nvram, i found it hard to manage.

Does this include the cd writer bug fixed that we had recently?
Will i break my installation if I do replica/pull?

I dont know how much work it would be, I have always felt the openbsd
way of releasing snapshot seems very effective and replica + contrib
will make the whole process even more effective.

i'm not sure what you're referring to.  it includes all
the fixes that have been made.

it should not.  local changes are supposed to be
preserved.  i have not tried a pull myself.

The only reason I want to do a pull is to have fix for the bug above.
If it is already in there
then I need to pull

this fix is not on the kernel in sources yet,
but it is on 9atom.iso and it is in the
kernel source in the same directory.

but i wouldn't worry about it.  i was the
first person to trip on that (and care)
in 20 years.
